Answer 2

Well yeah, it is a version of bad luck (or good luck if you like black cats and wearing 3 year old underwear on the rugby pitch). But I kinda give a little kudos to those who are superstitious as they are the ones who generally DON'T get into those situations cause they stay waaay away from them..they are also funny to watch and giggle at....hehehehe

Answer 3

nice avatar.

I think people who believe strongly in superstitions often give them their power. Self-fulfillig prophecies they are called.  When someone believes that if they break a mirror they will get bad luck - they create their own bad luck by worrying about it so much, and fretting over it.

I myself have broken mirrors, walked under ladders, and spilt salt, and never had problems with bad luck. You give power to these things by believing in them.

In the same token - I am a witch, and use spells to bring about change. This change happens in large part because I believe it will.  I think our minds are capable of great things.

Answer 4

Yes as well as any other kind of luck.

No.

Short answer cause I really just came in to see the other answers..

I don't beleive it is all bad luck.  There are bits I agree with and some that I do not.  For instance I beleive that we all have ESP in our brains...  that is not bad luck is it?
